Seriously, if he's just emerged into dead pooling awareness I'd stick him in there and Google enough to see if there's any form indicators. I mean, obviously, he doesn't dislodge Marsh Pratley as joker without a struggle!

Actor and comedian Sam Lloyd, best known for appearing in Scrubs (a very famous television sitcom out here in the States), has been diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer, which has spread to his liver, spine, and jaw bone...

Stick a fork in him, he's done. probably doesn't have a lot of time here left on this planet...

Celine Dion looks extremely gaunt. She looks more than simply being thin. I know she's always denied anorexia rumors, but damned if I am not having Karen Carpenter flashbacks. Ms. Carpenter was 32 when she died and looked 52, at least. She looked like death. Celine is 50, but take a look at her...she looks like she could be in her late 60's. If it's not anorexia, maybe she's just sick. All I know is that she does not look like a healthy human being. And she has also had the stress of dealing with the deaths of her husband and brother in the recent past. Could be one to watch.

Is she auditioning for the next movie in the Alien franchise?

Could be battling depression as well, rather than (or in conjunction w) anorexia. She had a rough 2018 and wouldn't be surprised if she's still in a funk.

Photojournalist Don McCullin has done a recent doc for the BBC about his career - Looking for England, still on Iplayer for next few weeks. Seems OK for 84, despite recent health woes, but a worthy reminder that he is still alive and a BBC obit cert.

Quote

His body is in pain now from arthritis and he has eye trouble, a curse for a photographer. Worse, he suffered a stroke in March 2009, and this restricts the energy he can devote to photography. A recent two-year project on Roman relics took a lot out of him. He had a bad fall and discovered four weeks later that he had punctured his lung. “I don’t dwell on it, I try to ward it off,” he says, talking of his health. “All I want is another five good years with my son, Max.”

Apparently there is a lot of coverage in the women's magazine of Judy Finnegan's 'brush with death' last Autumn after she began vomiting blood because she had taken too many SPAM to help with severe knee pain.

Is she worth an outside bet?

I don't see her living to very old Bones but I am not sure, unless her health declines, that she would be a fair bet for the deathlist when people with severe dementia or extremely old miss out.

Duchess of Kent needs to appear sometime. She is old and frail and well known.

Unless you can add ill to that description then I wouldn't be putting her on a list for another 12 years at which point her risk of dying in the next 12 months rises above 25% (which would give list an average 12 or 13 hits.

Most 85 year olds are frail to some extent and you have to be well known to make the list (in theory) - famous old people should maybe be added to the list as fillers if the committee run out of famous ill people but they should be starting at centenarians and working downwards.

In public appearances she look like she has some level of confusion or not quite with it.
